Learning Objectives:

Identify common signs and symptoms of post-concussion syndrome and explain how they may overlap with systemic conditions such as Lyme disease. Differentiate between typical concussion recovery patterns and prolonged or atypical cases that warrant further medical investigation. Analyze the role of interprofessional collaboration (athletic trainers, physicians, physical therapists) in managing complex cases of persistent post-concussion symptoms. Evaluate nontraditional and adjunctive treatment approaches (e.g., craniosacral therapy, EEG biofeedback, oxygen therapy) for their effectiveness in addressing persistent post-concussion symptoms.

Keywords: Lyme Disease; persistent symptoms; return-to-play (RTP); interprofessional collaboration
